Vintage Chinese Cheongsam Mint Green Silver Lame Paisley Sari Silk Qipao Dress
This vintage Chinese cheongsam mint green silver lame paisley sari silk qipao dress dates from the 1940s. It is made of a pale pastel mint green color handloom sari silk fabric with a woven silver metallic Indian boteh paisley pattern design. This opulent Orientalism Indian sari silk Chinese cheongsam dress has a fitted hourglass style, with side slit skirt vents, a high mandarin collar, short sleeves, a side zipper with snap closures along the neckline and is fully lined in a mint green color silk fabric. Manchu women early on wore a loose fitting one-piece dress which were called "qipao", transforming later to the more form fitting style "Mandarin Gown" popular in Shanghai during the 1920s-1940s becoming more influenced by Western fashion and fabrics. The dress measures 42 inches long, with a 36 inch chest, 26 inch waist, 36 inch hips, 15 inch back and a 14 inch neck. It is in excellent condition. This is truly a wonderful handmade fully lined custom made piece of Chinese cheongsam wearable art!
